All three of driver Ricky Rudd's Robert Yates Racing over-the-wall crewmen that were injured in a pit road accident Nov. 11 have been back to visit the team's shop, including tire changer Bobby Burrell, 30, who was the most severely injured.

Burrell was knocked unconscious and suffered head injuries when Ward Burton's out-of-control Dodge struck he and his teammates as they made a tire change during the Pennzoil Freedom 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Burrell was moved to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C., on Friday, Nov. 16 from a hospital in Miami where he was airlifted immediately after the accident.

Burrell made a brief visit to the Yates Racing shop on Tuesday, Nov. 20 -- the day after he was released to his home from the Charlotte hospital. Tire carrier Kevin Hall and jackman John Bryan, both 31, have made a couple visits apiece to the shop.

There has been no pressure put on the three to return to a regular work schedule and their "rest and recovery" period continues indefinitely.
